As a household income, I mean. Have NC for this just in case.
DH and I, between us, have just come to the end of shared parental leave. One DC, 8 months. I've been back at work the past couple of months and DH has been off for 10 weeks. He's absolutely loved it.
Me, I'm not cut out to be a SAHP, I know I'm not. We've jokingly suggested that he could stay at home if I got a pay rise (this is probably unlikely, unless I actively looked for another job outside my current employer).
So... If you are a SAHP, or have a partner who is, what's your situation? How hard is it? Is the financial drawback worth the payoff of having a parent at home full time?
